Can grandparents ruin how you are parenting your child?
Episode description
Hi friends! I received this question from a listener so I thought I would answer it in today's episode.
This parent asked, "If my husband and I have been working hard to validate our 13-month-old feelings but our parents do not, will this be harmful to our child's development and emotions?"
It is important to validate our child's feelings, however, if certain adults do not validate their emotions, it is not necessarily harmful.
I discuss:
- what validating emotions looked like when we were growing up and what it look like today
- how to have this conversation with grandparents
- whether grandparents can undo the work
- what are some red flags with grandparents that can be harmful to your child
- the role of emotions in mental health
- how to monitor your child when they come back from their grandparent's house
